1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on
the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them, 2that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair;
and they took them wives of all that they chose. 3And
Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that
he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.
4The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also
after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and
they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were
of old, the men of renown.

5And Jehovah saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart. 7And Jehovah said, I will
destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both
man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for
it repenteth me that I have made them. 8But Noah found
favor in the eyes of Jehovah.

9These are the generations
of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and perfect in his generations:
Noah walked with God. 10And Noah begat three sons, Shem,
Ham, and Japheth. 11And the earth was corrupt before
God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12And God
saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had
corrupted their way upon the earth.

13And God said unto
Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is
filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them
with the earth. 14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms
shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without
with pitch. 15And this is how thou shalt make it: the
length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty
cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16A light
shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it
upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof;
with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 17And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to
destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven;
everything that is in the earth shall die. 18But I will
establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark,
thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every
sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee;
they shall be male and female. 20Of the birds after
their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping
thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come
unto thee, to keep them alive. 21And take thou unto thee
of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be
for food for thee, and for them. 22Thus did Noah;
according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

7 Genesis 7

1And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy
house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this
generation. 2Of every clean beast thou shalt take to
thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts
that are not clean two, the male and his female: 3of the
birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep
seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4For yet
seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days
and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I
destroy from off the face of the ground. 5And Noah did
according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.

6And Noah
was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the
earth. 7And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife,
and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of
the flood. 8Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not
clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the
ground, 9there went in two and two unto Noah into the
ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 10And it
came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were
upon the earth. 11In the six hundredth year of Noah's
life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on
the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and
the windows of heaven were opened. 12And the rain was
upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13In the
selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons
of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them,
into the ark; 14they, and every beast after its kind,
and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its
kind, every bird of every sort. 15And they went in unto
Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of
life. 16And they that went in, went in male and female
of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in. 17And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters
increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the
earth. 18And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly
upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and
all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were
covered. 20Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail;
and the mountains were covered. 21And all flesh died
that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of
life, of all that was on the dry land, died. 23And every
living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground,
both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens;
and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and
they that were with him in the ark. 24And the waters
prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
